about

"True Feelings" was recorded in 1999 at Audiolab studio, Buckingham and released in 2000 as part of a True Element CD entitled "Unmanufacturable". The CD was released independently by Kraze One on his label One On One Productions. During the time True Element were actively performing this composition DJ Maniphest would execute scratches during the section between the second chorus and the third verse. Due to studio absence the scratches were never recorded in time for the "Unmanufacturable" CD release. The scratches on this recording were overdubbed by Kraze One during the 2010s to give a clearer representation of the original idea.

lyrics

[[Fa-Real]]
Always forever living this lifestyle that's my niche
Keeping the vibe alive until the narrow minds capiche
Unique's the style and fashion this is my passion
Trashing up mics like party's that I'm gate crashing
My rap methods, sticking to the true Hip Hop ethics
Reflections of my thoughts is how I like to express this
I'm restless when my minds not in motion
Though I can test this I'm just a drop in the ocean
So I stay humble, bad attitude crumbles
Your chances to move on promote yourself and improve on
So get your groove on, nod your head to this
The True Element crew's on and this is how it is
I'll hit the dance floor no time for playing tough
If you aint grooving the music aint soothing your mind enough
All the stuff that happens in a lifetime
Can ware and grind the thought patterns of the mind
I try to focus but still sometimes I find
My mind can be the biggest enemy of mine
But I'm designed for bigger and better things
I figure my time will come who knows what the future brings
So I stay realistic doing my own thing
Not criminal don't want to spend time in sing sing
I'm always conscious and keep it right not real
I sleep good at night knowing this is how I feel.

[[Laura Cristy, Fa-Real & Kraze One]]
Cos I feel
True vibes running through my veins
Cos I feel
All my loses are all of my gains
Cos I feel
Life's tribulations paving my way
I feel
Stronger from day to day.

[[Laura Cristy]]
Pressure on my mind coming from deep inside
I feel it in my heart true feelings that I can't hide
I try to maintain keep my head right up to the sky
But you always hold me back and I can't see why
Your listening to my music but can you here the words?
Melody is soothing but my mind is disturbed
Reality is facing me day by day
From this crazy world trying to get away
The tempo's slow and I just can't keep up the pace
Now you can see me face to face
As I walk in to an unknown field
All the while you were saying this is real, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh.

[[Laura Cristy, Fa-Real & Kraze One]]
I feel
True vibes running through my veins
I feel
All my loses are all of my gains
I feel
Life's tribulations paving my way
I feel
Stronger from day to day.

[[Kraze One]]
The last emperor, a twisted mind state scape
To the future always maybe one day to escape
From the distortion surrounding me and hounding me
I was misguided see they called me a liability
Internally I never let it get to me
I'm in to poetry not money or publicity
Pride or insanity you can't break the structure
What ever you say I make the diaphragm rupture
On the microphone I bring truth to combat lies
Time flies it made me open up my eyes
Realise and analyse in to the next century
To many people walking round with read only memory
I found as a youth I had a lot to say
Always wanted to make the world a better place in some way
This girl in a club once told me I was cool
I said I didn't know the rules of society
I try and live life positive give what I got to give
Live how I want to live
No matter how hard life gets I always try and crack a smile
Escape my thought for a while
Raise a question why all this mental congestion
Sit in front of the mirror looking at my own reflection
Imagine I'm the person opposite looking back in
And then it all begins again, Damn.
